These clothes need room to move and shine. To be honest I am inclined to give the shop a 2, but it somehow seems unfair to the clothes. Thus 3 it is.

I love Zicco. Adorable, warm boutique and very friendly, helpful owner. Prices are incredibly…read morereasonable compared to other children's boutiques in the city. I love their selection of adorable children's clothes, toys, and accessories. I don't know how they squeeze so many treasures and treats for little people of all ages into such a cozy little shop. I can say this: they have a great musical instrument selection for infants/toddlers (their high-quality wooden maracas have saved our lives by soothing our baby boy when nothing else would), Jellycat stuffed toys (a huge favorite in the US and hard to find here), and great sales on their very nice and very unique children's and baby's clothes. I can't walk in without buying something. Plenty of room for prams in the front entrance even if it doesn't look like it!

This Lego shop really clicks! They have a really cool…read morewindow display here, showing off amazingly constructed Lego scenes that are unlike any other I'd ever seen in person. They had a life sized Darth Vader, all made of Legos standing in the corner to spook out visitors who come in. The place was jam-packed with Lego sets- sorted by theme. They had a lot dealing with recent movies, and more classic sets. Many of the sets were displayed in assemblage, so you could see how it works. My favorite part was the wall of Lego characters. I doubt they had them all, but they have a wide variety that I could spend hours looking over. In the center of the store, you could paw through a bin of person parts to create your own likeness of a Lego guy! They also had a grab bin of random Lego pieces where you just pay by the kilo and create your own creations! Legos are so much fun- this is a great place to get those hard to find kits, or just marvel at the ingenuity of the builders.
